Bildung is moral and emotional maturity. Bildung is also to have the education and knowledge necessary to thrive in your society; bildung is to be deeply embedded in culture and community while having the autonomy to carve your own path in life. Bildung is always personal and unique. Bildung is a German word that has no word in English. Beginning in the 1770s, German philosophers explored bildung as a secular form of inner development and it became popular among the bourgeoisie. In Denmark, a pastor realized in the 1830s that the peasants needed bildung too, and he envisioned a new kind of school: the folk-high-school. In 1851, a Danish teacher, Christen Kold, figured out how to teach in such a way that young farmhands learned to think for themselves: he told them moving stories and let them ask questions. Once he had their attention, he could teach them new farming techniques, science, philosophy, history, religion, literature, art, economic theory, and political science. Norway, Sweden and Finland copied the folk-high-school concept in the 1860s and by 1900, a critical mass of youngsters in the Nordic countries had upgraded their skills and their thinking, and the Nordics had gone from being among the poorest countries in Europe to being among the richest. This development and the bildung that carried it also meant that the Nordics made the transition from agricultural feudal societies to modern, democratic, industrialized nation-states peacefully. As we are facing new challenges from digitization, globalization, a pandemic and environmental changes we need bildung for the 21st century and the book concludes by exploring what that might look like.

Modern history completes and updates the previous four books, giving the remaining pieces of the puzzle to grasp our reality, its history, the otherworldly races, the enhanced humans and what current day humans are and can become. It is a must read for the ones that want to progress and do their higher awareness work in 2018 and onward. And all that is left to say is: Creating a new human paradigm begins with creating a new type of human. It is that simple. It all begins with one person. You.

Klima og menneskets reaktioner på det er tæt forbundet. Mens mange forskere er enige i, at mennesket har forårsaget klimaforandringer, er det et faktum, at jorden har gennemgået mange perioder med klimatiske forandringer uden vores indblanding, hvilket vi som art gennem størstedelen af vores eksistens har været tvunget til at klare os igennem. Hvad enten klimaforandringer er et resultat af naturlig eller menneskelig påvirkning, er et samfund nødt til at reagere på disse og tilpasse sig. Men gør det det? Og hvis det gør, hvad er så karakteren af denne tilpasning? Er tilpasningen positiv eller negativ for samfundets langsigtede overlevelse? I denne bog undersøger forskere inden for både arkæologi og klimaforskning fortidens klimaforandringer: forandringernes årsager og indvirken på antikke samfund og hvordan disse samfund reagerede. Med udgangspunkt i fire grundlæggende temaer, som hver især behandler måder, hvorpå man kan forstå tidligere tiders klima, den menneskelige indvirkning og bæredygtighed, undersøger bogens artikler den antikke klode gennem emner, der spænder fra førindustriel forurening til isotopisk analyse. Dermed demonstreres værdien af at undersøge strukturerne over en længere periode, la longue durée, når man har at gøre med et emne, der har afgørende betydning for vores planets fremtid.Bidragydere: Peter M.M.G.

This story is about the Klint family, which originates from Møgeltønder in Synderjylland, Denmark.The story is mainly about two sons of Hans Simonsen Klint and Karen Klint. Simon Klint, captain, and Jens Klint, mate.They both sailed on the Danish West Indies, from the Netherlands. There is good reason to believe that they sailed on slave ships.Captain Simon Klint was co-owner of a plantation in Suriname, and they both owned their own house in Møgeltønder. Which suggests they were making good money. Houses that stand there to this day.

The Norse Colony, Medieval 1408. The settlement is haunted by famine, and the Norse vikings are waiting for a salvation from the Norwegian king.Young Sigridur is getting married to Hjartur, but she despises him.One day in the spring, visitors arrive in the settlement, and Sigridur falls head over heels in love. When the supply ship finally arrives, her life takes an unexpected turn.A struggle of life and death begins. Nothing is as it was in the Norse community at the edge of the world's end in a land of perpetual snow and ice.His wet mouth and tongue were all over her neck and face. "Let me go," she shouted. He did not let her go, and Sigridur knew he would take her by force. She reached out and grabbed the pewter jug on the table, then swung as hard as she could. Red wine and a sweet scent of grapes splashed out on the floor. A hollow thump sounded, and his mouth immediately released her throat. He took a step back and she saw his eyes roll back in his head. The wine ran down his face and looked like diluted blood. He staggered for a moment, then sank to the floor. He was bleeding from an open wound, and she knew she had killed him.

Hvad skal du gøre, hvis du støder på en Qivittoq? Kan du løbe fra den sagnomspundne Ikusik? Og hvad er en Tupilak lavet af? For ca. 4500 år siden landede de første Inuit i Grønland via Nordamerika og bragte historier med sig om de mytiske væsener, som levede sammen med dem. Disse væsener og monstre har overlevet tidens tand, selvom de nogle gange har måttet genopfinde sig selv for at passe ind i den moderne verden. Denne praktiske lomme-guide giver dig gode råd om hvad du skal gøre og ikke gøre, hvis du støder på nogle af disse væsener i den arktiske vildmark.God jagt!

What should you do if you encounter a Qivittoq? Can you outrun the fabled Ikusik? And what is a Tupilak made of? About 4500 years ago, the first Inuit landed in Greenland via North America, bringing with them stories about the mythical being that lived alongside them. These creatures and monsters have survived the ravages of time and tide, although they have sometimes had to re-invent themselves to fit into a modern world.This handy pocket guide will help guide you through the do’s and don'ts should you encounter any of these creatures in the Arctic wilderness.Happy hunting!

درک ما از جهان هستی بسیار ناچیز است. هیچکس براستی نمی داند که منشاء حقیقی همه چیزهای این عالم که از انرژی و اتم ها و ... هستند،چه بوده و چطور بوجود آمده است!! واقعاً تا حال به این فکر کرده اید که چه اتفاقی رخ داده است که از ما خصوصیات والا و نبوغ مان را گرفته اند. انسان موجودیست قصه گو و داستان ساز که با شوق و علاقه و کنجکاوی ، اراده به زندگی از جنبه های مختلفش را دنبال نموده تا در نهایت به بُعد های دیگری از هوش خود دست یابد.

در این جستار گذری خواهیم داشت در موضوعات مختلفتاریخ انسان با تمدنها و فرهنگ های گمنام و گوناگون گذشته همچون مایاها، ازتک ها،اینکاها، پارسها، مصریان و یونانیان. در این راستا با قرار دادن دانش درونی انسان (روح / انرژی / ذهن )، مفاهیم بجا مانده از خرابه های باستانی، کتیبه های سومری،هندسه مقدس، فلسفه و دانش، نجوم و افسانه ها بخصوص موضوع بحث برانگیز مسطحبودن و سکون زمین، شاید رهگشا و نمایشکر تصویری واقعی از تاریخ گمشده در خلالصد ها سال گذشته انسانها باشد. این کتاب می تواند پاسخی برای بسیاری از پرسش هایپنهان شده در افکار ما انسانها باشد.

Almost 700 kilograms of the finest iron, mixed with transparent, beautiful crystals!This was the rare and unexpected discovery made in 1771 near the river Jenisei, central Siberia.The German naturalist Peter Simon Pallas - then wintering in the town Krasnoyarsk - was convinced that the mass was a 'product of Nature', and not a leftover from ancient miner's simple kilns. He quickly reported his find to the scientific world, and sent pieces around, which he had chopped off. While the mass is now officially named 'Krasnojarsk', it is often referred to as 'Pallas Iron', or, in Russian 'Pallasovo Zheleso'. It took years of intense debate, however, before its origin in interplanetary space was firmly concluded. In honor of the discoverer, the specific type of meteorite is now known as 'pallasite'. Holger Pedersen has studied the old reports, and found hints that other fragments were found nearby. From comparison to a Chilean meteorite of the same type, Imilac, he concludes that these fragments were scattered when a second, large piece of the Krasnojarsk meteoroid hit ground. This conclusion is supported by the morphology of numerous museum-samples, which lack marks from the pounding by hammer and chisel. Among some facts revealed by papers in the archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg) is the identity of the scout, who brought the first tiny sample to Pallas' attention; this name is here revealed for the first time. Also, it can be concluded that Pallas' original illustration, which shows the meteorite at the foot of a male Samoyede, was made using a 'camera obscura'.
